We're happy that you're asking for the "displacement", because displacement is simply the straight-line distance between the start-point and end-point, and we don't care about any of the motions or gyrations along the way.

From the graph:

-- The location of the object at time-zero, when time begins, is  10 meters.

-- The location of the object after 6.0 seconds is  4 meters.

-- The distance between the start-point and end-point is

(final location) - (initial location)

-- So Displacement = (4 meters) - (10 meters)

<em>Displacement = -6 meters</em>

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

b) True.    the force of air drag on him is equal to his weight.

Explanation:

Let us propose the solution of the problem in order to analyze the given statements.

The problem must be solved with Newton's second law.

When he jumps off the plane

     fr - w = ma

Where the friction force has some form of type.

     fr = G v + H v²

Let's replace

     (G v + H v²) - mg = m dv / dt

We can see that the friction force increases as the speed increases

At the equilibrium point

      fr - w = 0

      fr = mg

      (G v + H v2) = mg

For low speeds the quadratic depended is not important, so we can reduce the equation to

     G v = mg

     v = mg / G

This is the terminal speed.

Now let's analyze the claims

a) False is g between the friction force constant

b) True.

c) False. It is equal to the weight

d) False. In the terminal speed the acceleration is zero

e) False. The friction force is equal to the weight

What is a difference between a law and a hypothesis?
AnnZ [28]

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The charge at the center of the conducting sphere is zero.

Explanation:

A principle of conductor materials is that the electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. The gauss law says that the flux of a electric field in a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed by the surface. Then if the Electric field inside of a conductor is zero, imperatively the charge anywhere inside the conductor is zero too, so the charge at the center of the sphere is zero.
